The last morning of my trip I felt courageous. I sashayed into the Hotel Meuricejust for a cup of chocolat chaudnature. This "cup" is more like a very generous soup bowl. Limoge too. The silver pitcher could well serve a table of 10 easily.AND they load up your table with beautiful croissants and confiture/jam as temptation, but more about that later.So you're wondering when does this %$#@ PARIS BREAKFASTS DIET begin?

As soon as you get home, that's when.

Your petit dejeuner/ petit dej'/BREAKFAST is now going to be PETIT.

1-2 boiled eggs (just the white please)

1 apple/pomme

1 cup of hot chocolate (that's allowed and it can be some hot chocolate you dragged home)

1 chocolate friture if you have any.

All this is eaten enroute to the pool or gym or where ever you go to sweat off all those Paris PDs.

Ooooh--I love that Hotel Meurice cup--and it truly IS the size of a soup cup...Those petite dejeuners are wonderful--(hey, I say go for it and just work it off by the end of the day so you can enjoy it again demain!)

The painting is perfection! The soft colors capture the mood, and the reflection on the silver water carafe, wow! Very nice!As for the diet Hotel Meurice everyday please! Isn't it a knock your socks off kind of palace!

I did this "diet" when we lived in Toulouse, France! We ate this every day for breakfast (usally pain au chocolat, Banania, coffee, orange juice, fromage blanc and tartine) for months and I really lost 25 pounds! ***sigh*** Why oh why doesn't this diet work Stateside? ;)Love the painting!!!

I've had the hot chocolate at Angelina's-to die for- but have only gone into the Hotel Meurice to have a peek at that fabulous ceiling over the salon. It has so much more ambience than Angelina's. I think I'll give it a try the next time my craving for hot chocolate once more hits me.

Ok, where do you recommend we go for a really fancy and luxurious hotel breakfast? I have two daughters, aged 9 and 12 and the one thing I want to do to make their trip to Paris memorable is to have a very very posh breakfast. We actually have a really tight budget but I'd rather blow some money on breakfast than on anything else.

Well, everybody knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but how can i participate this "petit dejeuner" diet in paris without knowing where to eat? :) is it acceptable that breakfast is serve in the hotel? and where is the best if so? :) help me search with LMT so i can order for my trip this December..
